Florida Sheriffs Association Internship Application

Florida Sheriffs Association Internship Application
FSA is dedicated to keeping Florida’s citizens and visitors safe. Our goal is to protect youth, provide services to sheriffs, and promote public safety through the legislative process. Our interns may enjoy a variety of experiences such as working in the areas related to marketing and communications, government affairs and the legislative process, and procurement data processing. While FSA’s work supports the efforts of law enforcement, there are no law enforcement-oriented internships available.
